Genius or Oh Dear...

[undercarriage plan]

Hold that thought!!!! Took eldest to lottie today, I was hoeing away and she said "What you doing, mum?" " What does it look like?" I replied. "Your stroking the plants!" Not sure if this is comment about my hoeing technique or not!! Not one of them resembles me externally, Jaggy, so figure they must be lucky devils and inherited my inelligence..... :-\, and long toes? ???    Lottie ;D ;D ;D

I'm 35 and still think upon myself as being a bit of a hippy.  I used to have very long hair (down to my waist) but had to cut it off to get a job.  Still have most of the hippy principles.

How lovely Lottie, to have children that want to help or share on your allotment. Mine would just look horrified . . .

On the inherited characteristics, I couldn't possibly comment . . .  :D

Cheek!!! Not so much helping, as moving catipillars to safety, which is another moan!! They had their warning to move catipillars from sprouts before I started squishing, and where did they move them too?? The cabbages :-\ :-\ :-\  Lottie  ;D

[Derekthefox]

Couldn't you just provide a big bucket, then suggest they make a caterpillar pie . . .  :D

[undercarriage plan]

Guess who'd have to eat it...... :-\ Lottie  ;D

[Derekthefox]

Hmmm yes you have a very good point there !  :D

[aquilegia]

I'm still going through my hippy stage. (Although I was born in the mid-70s, so was a bit too young for it first time around.)

Although I don't like the term hippy due to it's opium connection. I much prefer to think of myself as an earth child or daughter of Gaia. (aqui gets off her pretentious horse!)

My hair pretty much reaches my waist!

[Derekthefox]

Then I guess that makes me a hippy revisited, without the hair this time round !  ;D Mind you, the term 'sad old git' seems to be more appropriate now!

Decided it best to ban children from going anywhere near any plants ever again!!!! Got back from work to find OH in fits of laughter, Maggie had decided to water her plant in the sink.  Placed plant in upstairs sink, turned on tap, and forgot about it.  Apparently OH heard the water, pelted upstairs to find plant boiling, she'd turned on the hot tap....... ::) ::) ::) Lottie  ;D

You've not got a plot full of poppies then?  ;D

[aquilegia]

Clanger - I did try, but they don't seem to like my heavy clay! ;)

[Derekthefox]

Whew Lottie, I think you got away lightly! I had visions of the basin drain blocking with soil, then overflowing . . . all over your lovely shiny new bathroom. Hope everything is ok now . . .  :D

[undercarriage plan]

It's getting there, Derek......really, really slowly!!! Next bit is bath being re-done, apparently 3 days without bath then, should be interesting :-\.  ;D Lottie

[Derekthefox]

I'm sooo glad for you! Hmmm 3 days, I best stay upwind! I only have a few days before leaving now, so do please keep me informed ok?  ;) I need stuff to chat about, so I can get my posts out, and get that God label.  Hmm Dan should have my cheque now as well, so does that give me pics status as well?

[aquilegia]

Only 15 more to go til you're a god Derek!

(I think the stakes are far too low. I've been a god for ages, but still haven't managed to bring about world peace. Maybe you need to hit 10,000 before you can do that!)

[Derekthefox]

Indeed Aqui, but like you say, it will not change the world order, or anything come to that. Still it is keeping me occupied, and getting myself known, instead of just lurking as I used to do.  :D

[undercarriage plan]

Nothing wrong with a spot of lurking occasionally....I have been known to lurk now and then  :o Lottie

[Derekthefox]

Yes but I was a Master Lurker, didnt really contribute anything . . .

[undercarriage plan]

And do you have a certificate to verify this claim...... ;) Lottie ;D
